LEEK & MUSHROOM BAKE

“Fifty thousand dollars’ worth of cabinets isn't going to make you a better cook; cooking is going to make you a better cook. At the end of the day, you can slice a mushroom in about three inches of space, and you can carve a chicken in a foot and a half. So it doesn't matter how big the kitchen is.” - Tyler Florence

We had this delicious bake yesterday and as the weather was cold and wet, it was delightful just out of the oven with some red wine, crusty bread and a green salad!

MethodPreheat the oven to 180°C and lightly grease a 20cm cake pan.Melt butter with oil in a large frying pan over medium-low heat. Add leek and cook for 5 minutes until soft but not browned. Add garlic, and then the mushrooms and stir until mushrooms are soft. Add the flour and stir thoroughly, mixing with mushrooms until flour is golden.Whisk together eggs, cream and cheese in a jug. Season and add to the leek and mushrooms, stirring thoroughly. Fill the prepared pan with the mixture, sprinkle with thyme. Bake for 25-30 minutes until lightly browned and set. Cool slightly, then turn out onto a board. Cut into slices and serve with a green salad.

Welcome to Nicholas V's Blog on Blogger

I have been blogging daily on this platform for several years now. It is surprising that I have persisted as the world is changing and "microblogging" is now the norm. I blog to amuse myself, make comment on current affairs, externalise some of my creativity, keep notes on things that interest me, learn something new and to surprise myself with things that I discover about this wonderful, and sometimes crazy, world we live in.

I sometimes get the impression that I am on a soapbox delivering a monologue, so your comments are welcome.
